The last two places on our Wild Nature Photo Travel workshop to Grimsey Island this year, 2025, in the far north of Iceland for Puffins and Razor bills have now been spoken for and the workshop is sold out – thank you. We are looking forward to photographing these amazing birds under the midnight sun in one of the most remote and spectacular places in Iceland. It has been some years since I was last in Grimsey island, but I am really excited to return to for another go at the ‘warp-speed’ Puffins with Canon’s new R1 mirrorless cameras.

I have just published episode 118 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I discuss my recent competition results in the Asia / Pacific Photography awards as well as my upcoming expeditions to Svalbard on snow mobile and ship. I am going to try and squeeze in one more podcast from Sweden – a book review.

The 2025 Asia / Pacific international photography awards are now run, won and done. This year I entered at the very last moment (I was on the fence about entering this year) as entries closed the day I was returning from my Arctic fox workshops in Iceland and I was juggling final trip logistics. Of the five photographs I entered into the Nature category all were highly commended or better with three of the five going onto the top twenty finalist photographs in the category. Two of those three then went on to take out Gold and both second and third place respectively in the category. The third took a Silver award. Given my indecision on entering this year I am extremely pleased with the final result – especially as the 2nd place photograph I shot only a couple of days before entering the awards.

I have just published episode 117 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this requested episode, I discuss my history of photography, how I got started in the industry and how I transitioned from the corporate world as a sales and marketing director to working as a full time professional Nature Photographer.

Our October 2025 workshop for the white horses of Camargue in France is now Sold Out – thank you. This is a workshop that falls outside of our normal Polar speciality and is being offered by us as a one time opportunity to photograph these incredible horses in a small private group. With just five photographers we have keep this super exclusive to maximise the photographic experience for all. The importance of small group size cannot be underestimated on this type of photography workshop. Without having to jostle for position, or fight for the best location and backgrounds, our participants will enjoy the freedom to position themselves for the best shots. The final portfolios of photographs on these small group experiences speak volumes to the importance of small group size and one-on-one personal tuition. We are very much looking forward to photographing these amazing horses in France with our clients in October this year and hope to be sharing some daily video from the workshop experience here on the blog at the conclusion of the trip.
